Compufab has developed The Universal Stiffener™, an aluminum bar which
can function as a mechanical PCB stiffener, a heat transfer device or an electrical
bus bar. The Universal Stiffener™ fastens to a PCB with machine
screws or rivets anywhere along the length of the bar. The Universal Stiffener™
is a lower cost alternative to machined fiberglass or machined metal PCB stiffening
devices.
